Our Social Mission
Wouldn’t it be great knowing that when you woke up you’d already made a difference to the planet - and also someone else on that planet? Well, while creating products that make positive environmental differences, we wanted to see if we could make a difference to people that needed support, too. And as women make up more than 50% of the world’s extreme poor, we decided, as female founders, that we wanted to start there, with microfinance.
Why Microfinance?
Financial exclusion is a major issue for women worldwide. While women and girls comprise half of the world’s population, women only own only 1% of the wealth. But women influence real change, and if those living in poverty had the opportunity to build better lives for themselves and their families, you’d want to be a part of that, right? When a woman thrives, a trickle-down effect is activated that positively impacts her home, family and community, breaking the cycle of poverty for her children.We wanted to be a part of that positive change, so we’ve partnered with the MicroLoan Foundation charity to help provide finance to the women who need it.
Micro loans provide desperately-needed financial access to the world’s most vulnerable so that women can use the loan to fund their own businesses. Studies show that new incomes generated from micro-enterprises have a positive effect on a household’s health and nutrition, are invested in children’s education, and help benefit the wider community. The women’s businesses go on to employ others in the village, helping communities to prosper economically and socially.
Microloan Foundation UK
MicroLoan Foundation works in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe and provides small loans, training, mentoring and ongoing support to some of the most vulnerable women in sub-Saharan Africa. The women use these resources to start their own businesses.
From the outset the women can earn a small income and, over time, they can expand their activities to take advantage of further opportunities. With a regular income they are able to provide the basics for their families – food, shelter and medicine.
Since 2002 the charity has provided over 280,000 women with loans, and this has helped an estimated 1.2 million children. By using our products, you’re also supporting this incredible initiative.

Amazing brand, and lovely loo roll!
Loving my loo roll from Something Organic!
The branding and messages are fab, love their ethics and the toilet roll is such good quality too. It really does last longer than other brands. All round really happy.

High quality and soft for your....
I was surprised at how soft the TP is. I have used other bamboo TP and it wasn't bad, but this is super soft and strong. Really good value for money too as the rolls last much longer than traditional TP. I'm going to start my subscription on my next order 👍🏻🤗🙃

Happy Bums
Bought these bamboo toilet rolls through Kickstarter, and now that they're here I'm glad that I did. The bamboo sheets are great- soft feel and good size rolls. The rolls are individually wrapped, and the design of these wrappers is fun and look good when stored in the bathroom
